Ok… You do you.

You don’t have to self censor here. Go ahead and say shit.

Lol are you one of those kids from The Kid’s Guide to the Internet?

Yes, it’s absolutely cutting edge CGI. Every one of those movies pushed CGI technology so much further.

I had the pleasure of watching a talk by the CGI team at an animators convention when the second movie came out and it’s absolutely insane how much work goes into every tiny detail. The first thing they did for example, was to animate a water drop as physically correct as possible. And then they build up from there. They also filmed hours of reference material.

Remember the scene in the second movie where they burn down the huts? They build one of those huts for real, live sized (remember the Navii are bigger than humans) and hand weaved. And then they burned it down. Just to see how fire interacts with that material.

The Avatar movies are nothing special story wise, but from a CGI point of view, they have always been groundbreaking.

Game of Thrones didn’t really have unnecessary sex scene. A big part of that show was about sex and how it influences people.

Saying Game of Thrones has unnecessary sex scenes is kind of like saying a Marvel movie has unnecessary super hero fight scenes.

You are amazing. Stay safe and stand your ground. Don’t let those fuckers get to you or any of your loved ones.

I’m a german football fan and I love the World Cup and the Euros. That being said, I would love it even more if the DFB actually pulled out of the World Cup. We have to stop hosting these events in fascist countries.

BUT, if only the DFB would pull out it would certainly not be an earthquake. Big football nations not qualifying for the WC is certainly news, but it does happen and I’m certain the event would go on as usual, even without Germany. Now, every UEFA member pulling out, that would be an earthquake felt around the world. But I feel like we have better chances of the orange turd exploding spontaneously than that happening.

I really don’t know enough about this to be sure, but I would assume the US mainly imports goods that they cannot produce on their own, right? So a reduction in demand wouldn’t occur and it really doesn’t make a lot of sense in this scenario. But again, I’m not an expert. Would love to see a statistic how much of the goods being imported by the us could realistically be replaced by their own production.

That being said, the orange turd continuously makes it seem like a 20% tariff on a country means that that country pays 20%, which is just false and dumb.

I still don’t understand why he or his followers don’t know how tariffs work. Do they know they have to pay them, not we?

It’s like he’s hitting himself in the face and says he’ll only stop when he gets what he wants.

And start taxing the tech bros.

This is the classic misconception, that if you make a joke about something, you are not taking it serious.

You can talk about things you or other people struggle with in a joking way and it doesn’t take anything away from the seriousness. It might even help to let others understand your struggle.

This is especially a Gen Z thing, they love self deprecating jokes. I see nothing wrong with that personally.

Good point! But I feel like chicken is the one meat that is very easy to replicate taste wise. I had “fake chicken” that tasted identical to the real thing, and that was because of the seasoning. So yeah, chicken may have a subtle taste that is improved greatly by seasoning but the same can be said for tofu or other supplements. And if you use the same seasoning as you’d use for chicken, I’d argue most people would only find a difference in the texture.

But in the end it’s all about personal taste I guess.

And 100% agree on your last point, no living being deserves that.

Well maybe our tastes just differ then. A steak I can understand but unseasoned chicken tastes like absolutely nothing to me.

The thing is, they really aren’t. Have you ever eaten an unseasoned piece of chicken? It’s totally tasteless. Almost all the flavor comes from the spices, which means you could just as well put those spices on anything else and it will taste pretty much like chicken.

I’ve been saying that for years. So many fantastic FOSS applications are obviously made by engineers for engineers.

Start getting organized and take this to the street. Start protesting peacefully but disruptively and then (and this is the uncomfortable part) when they meet you with violence, answer with violence.

Can I ask you when you were born? Because I remember using the paper strips when I was really young and then at some point they dissapeared and got replaced by those plastic rings. I was born in 94.

Trump, Musk, Putin, Thiel…Man do I wish I had a Death Note.

Really? I have 4 screens hooked up and no problem at all

Oh my god yes, that’s exactly the one I had as a kid!
